Butterfly Ginkgo Cheeseboard
$160.00
The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree , the Ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly Ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with hand etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.
"The first time I saw this tree, it literally looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies... as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye."

Stained immediately upon use
"I received this as an engagement present and upon its first use, the cheeseboard was stained by a soft cheese. When contacting customer service, I was told that I should’ve conditioned this piece with mineral oil to prevent staining. What kind of small cheeseboard product marked at $160 requires further action by a consumer to use without undue damage immediately after unboxing? Deeply disappointed. What a waste of my family’s money. I will no longer treat them to Michael aram products nor will I include any on my wedding registry. Expected uses seem to be decoration only."

I was disappointed that one
"I was disappointed that one of the candles I received has chips on the enamel cala lily flowers on the lid. I called your company and was on hold for a very long time and left a message and haven't heard from anyone. Because of the chip in the enamel I won't be able to give it as a gift as I had intended to do. The tray above is also a gift and haven't opened it to see if it is in good shape yet. Please let me know how I can replace the candle? Thanks, Lynn Grossman"

“There is a tremendous reflection of our own humanity in handmade objects When you make things by hand, somehow that energy, that tension, that passion, all gets absorbed into the object Objects are powerful They trace history, trace our passage through time, they capture memories for generations.” ~ M.
